There are some strange happenings with gold and silver today. Typically when we get news of a worse than expected unemployment report, gold and silver will receive a jump up in price. In fact we did get a jump in the gold price at the opening as seen in the following chart.
But what happened to the price after the initial reaction to the jobs report? Selling pressure took over driving the price down as seen in the following Kitco.com chart showing the “gold price change due to predominant sellers.”
This decline in price was occurring despite the fact that the dollar index was declining, 80 cents yesterday and almost 70 cents today.
Yet at the same time the price of gold and silver were falling, other commodities, besides oil, were rising in price as seen with platinum and palladium below.
In fact, we have seen the price of gold fall in most currencies over the past month as gold has struggled to break out to new highs.
Do investors actually believe Money Magazine and CNBC when they claim gold is in a bubble? Is this why people are selling the precious metals?
Do gold and silver investors simply forget as Paul Harvey used to say….”The rest of the story”….???
